Projectrama (formally "Project Insanity") is a yearly activity to pick one long or difficult project to work on throughout the year. This blog focuses on the efforts of a group that are all working on the same project for 2015: de-cluttering by getting rid of one item a day. Anyone that wishes to join can message the admin to post on your item of day!

Rob's pick for 6/16
This a disassembled L-shaped desk that I'm letting go.
I really struggled with this one, as I really wanted this a few years ago and was really happy to have it. However, the added work space never really helped and it was pretty darned big.
I though seriously about trying to save it, but even being as careful as I could, flat-packed furniture just does not stand up well to being taken apart and moved around a lot. This is the 3rd time I've had to disassemble it for moving, and the attachments for the screws are falling apart. Also, I noticed that the actual desk itself has started to sag in the middle quite a bit.
All in all, I probably could store it somewhere and put it back together at a later date, but with no real window on when we'd have enough space again to set it up, it just makes more sense to let it go.
Besides, next time, I may just build one.... :)
